Editor's Notes
- Personal IntroductionsQuestions?
- Show EXAMPLE CAMPAIGNS, Share 7 KEY LESSONS LEARNED, PLUS KEY TRENDS for 2010
- We need to cover some important aspects of these multi-channel campaigns.
- Need – 5.1 MILLION on the verge of STARVATION, LACK OF CLEAN WATER, distribute much-needed FOOD, SUPPLIES, and WATER FILTERS.
- A good offer is NOT about NEED. It’s about IMPACT.
- A good offer is NOT about NEED. It’s about IMPACT. Need is the MEANS, but impact is the END.Example: Funding medical supplies. It’s NOT about the metric tons or number of units. It’s about the lives saved. The number, but more importantly, the INDIVIDUAL STORIES.
- Some will work very well in cultivation, but not so much in acquisition. Some are more major donor offers.
- If this is a fundraising campaign, are you targeting the MOST likely people to donate?
- To the audience. To what’s happening in the world? Haiti is a GREAT example of this in action – orgs responded within MINUTES AND HOURS instead of DAYS or WEEKS. And that’s good, because the NEWS did the same thing.In fact, giving has trailed off more quickly than in previous disasters. With Hurricane Katrina, strong giving lasted a few months, BUT with Haiti it started to flatten after just WEEKS (with over 220,000 dead!).
- FIVE KEY QUESTIONS
- You CANNOT OVERCOME poor fundamentals with:Pizzazz, Integration, Nice design, etc.
- Jeff Brooks at Future Fundraising Now expertly dissected this Haiti campaign in a post entitled “Stupid disaster fundraising.” From multiplicity of broken design principles to the abstract and philosophical messaging, this campaign represents all that can go wrong when integration assumes high design.EVALUATE this ad against the FIVE questions I asked earlier and ASK YOURSELF if any of the answers are IMMEDIATELY CLEAR in this ad.http://www.futurefundraisingnow.com/future-fundraising/2010/02/stupid-disaster-fundraising.html
- Integration isn’t about fancy whizbang technical features you can add to wow your donors or constituents. Everything must have a purpose:Useful. Powerful. Engaging. Etc.
- Good example of what we believe was an APPROPRIATE and POWERFUL use of features to enhance a message. In this case, the intention was to engage constituents to pray for a college campus somewhere in the country.
- BOTH because:It’s easier/more efficientRepeat impressions are powerful!
- SILOing causes:Duplication of effortCompeting goals and philosophiesBrand and message confusion
- RESPONSEChannels such as Direct Mail and Email and Phone are going to drive direct, measureable response. INFLUENCEChannels such as banner ads, radio oftentimes, print tend to influence response, but not be as directly attributable. ENGAGEMENTThere is another set of channels, especially in social media, that have proven to be great at engaging and interacting with constituents but have been less adept at driving response.

- Need – Food and emergency relief are happening, but there is a lack of attention to PSYCHOLOGICAL, SPIRITUAL, and SOCIAL needs, which are desperate. Distributing packs with encouraging reading, Bibles in Haitian Creole and more.
- If you’re a good fundraiser, you have learned the fine art of measuring each channel in EXTRAORDINARY DETAIL. The problem is that the way we’ve always done it doesn’t work as well as it used to – our culture has changed. Now, we need to measure by BOTH channels, AND measure by campaign.
- It’s not difficult to do this – just make sure you have a report that rolls up all channels into a campaign view.
- Adding video to a campaign costs time and money, so test:Format and style (i.e. motion graphics vs. slideshow vs. live action)LengthNo video at all
- Like a website, it’s not sufficient to simply create the video. You need to integrate it throughout the campaign in every conceivable channel: Direct mailWebsiteEmailBanners, etc.
- Traditionally nonprofit fundraisers are all about transactions. On the opposite end of the spectrum are marketers and brand advertisers who are all about engagement.We’ve GOT to maximize BOTH for long-term sustainable results. We must be about transactions AND relationships.
- Here are some EXAMPLES of Y and X axis elements. Notice that a number of these can work on both levels.We should ask ourselves – for each campaign or strategy, ask how we can deepen/enrich relationship?
- CAUSE MARKETING is NOT new, BUT corporations’ level of interest in it is at an all time high because of its leveragability with social media.
- The NTC crowd is already here in many ways, but the general population is growing.
- STEVE: Studies have said that 40-60% of all donors and 80% of major donors go online to validate giving decisions, even though the vast majority have still never given one gift online. Last I heard, 40% of Haiti income was given through new media, but it’s almost exclusively old media that’s driving people to give.
- 1.3 million people watched U.S. President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech live on the White House’s website — or at least on sites that embedded the official video. 13.9 million watched the inauguration on CNN.com alone a year ago. Twilight: MySpace just released their data and as it turns out, the stream garnered over 2 million uniques, and almost 3 million total viewers.STEVE: Has passed search as the #1 activity online. It’s the #1 thing Boomers do online.
- Haiti put text to give on the map of the general consumer, but text to give is limited. Mobile will begin to overcome the key limitations of text to give in 2010 (including limited gift amounts, lack of data, long processing times, etc.) with other mobile giving solutions – text to donate, secure mobile apps, etc.
